What makes the build abort is "-Werror". Remove and try again.

Other suggestions:
#1 Get ddd from the CVS repository on sourceforge.net
#2 I posted a big patch sometimes in October that fixes some
   of these mistakes.
#3 If it is not enough, could you post some patches to ddd@gnu.org.
   Patches tend to be included in the main distribution after 
   some times.

Cheers,
Arnaud
